Greece crisis: What now for the euro project?

[ekrem]

Greece is in the trouble it is because it is a nation of cheats, frauds and lazy bastards! Most cheat on their tax returns. They earn over-inflated wages for a short day's work and they expect to retire at 50 on a pension that is 95% of their final year's salary! Now the country is bankrupt and the public are rioting because they don't agree with the austerity measures needed to pull the country out of trouble. Well. FUCK the Greeks! Let the over-bloated lazy slugs go to the wall. Let them live in the real world!
